Michelle in the Netherlands
Michelle is a native to the West Coast and has lived a majority of her life in the Pacific Northwest. She’s traveled all over North America, but it wasn’t until she traveled to Europe that she realized where she needed to move for the first phase in her expat life.
She spent 14 days traveling around the Netherlands and naturally loved it. The country matched Michelle’s Pacific Northwest home in terms of tech opportunities, cooler climate, and protection of LGBTQ+ rights. She found this to feel like home and decided that the Netherlands will be the start, making the transition in Fall 2024. Expatsi invited Michelle to join our network of consultants and help other expats determine whether the same path might work for them.
During your one-hour session, Michelle will help you create a checklist of things you will need to do before you move to the Netherlands. She shares her experience with the DAFT visa path, too, demonstrating what a common visa path may look like. Michelle can match you with the right resources to make your dream of moving to the Netherlands a dream come true. You don’t need to speak Dutch to book your consultation now :)
This is a one-hour consultation.

Michelle Made this Move Seem Possible!
My wife and I are looking to move from the US to the Netherlands and quickly realized that we needed some help managing all of the moving pieces. Michelle was very friendly and easy to work with, putting our minds at ease instantly. She had a well-designed presentation that answered pretty much all of our questions before we even asked them. Highly recommend talking to Michelle if you are thinking about moving to the Netherlands!
Michelle is very knowledgable and helpful!
In just one hour, Michelle was able to go through so much information and sent us the resources we needed to get started. We seriously don’t know what we would have done without her! We have been trying to figure it out ourselves and wished we booked our consultation sooner.
Highly recommend Michelle! We learned a lot
We enjoyed our consult with Michelle. She laid out a very clear path for the DAFT visa process and answered all of our questions along the way.

Michelle was a really great resource! I’m glad I booked time with her. She was very knowledgeable and had a load of good resources. The next steps seem less daunting now that I’ve spoken with Michelle. I highly recommend speaking with her if you’re interested in relocating to the Netherlands.
What an absolute delight!
Booking a consultation with Michelle is by best decision I’ve made this year! She was so knowledgeable, warm, friendly, and intelligent, and it was incredibly refreshing to speak to someone who knows what it’s like to go through the DAFT process with pets!
There’s such varied information out there about how to proceed, but Michelle broke it all down and made it incredibly clear. I cannot recommend her highly enough!
Detailed information from a friendly on-the-ground resource.
Michelle is highly organized, informative, flexible, and personable. She came prepared with information and resources that pertained to our situation. She answered our myriad questions and promptly gave us additional places to track down answers to the rest of our questions. A true pleasure to connect with her.
We learned so much!
The hour we zoomed with Michelle was an hour well spent. She educated us about the DAFT visa, setting up a biz in NL, and what to consider when relocating. She was quite generous and thoughtful in her consultation with us. We feel so much better prepared, thanks to Michelle.
Exceptional Expat Consultation – Highly Recommend!
I had the absolute pleasure of working with Michelle as I explored the possibility of becoming an expat in the Netherlands, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the experience! It was clear that she was incredibly well-prepared and knowledgeable.
She provided invaluable insights about the relocation process, covering everything from visas and housing to cultural integration and daily life. What truly set her apart was her ability to break everything down into an easy-to-follow checklist, ensuring that I felt confident and organized every step of the way. The additional resources she shared were incredibly helpful, making it even easier to move forward with my plans.
Her expertise, patience, and genuine enthusiasm for helping others navigate this journey made all the difference. If you’re considering a move to the Netherlands, I highly recommend Michelle—her guidance is truly top-notch!
A great resource
Michelle was easy to talk to and open about her experience with the DAFT visa and the Netherlands. She created a useful presentation breaking down the steps. We would definitely meet with her again if questions arise, and we look forward to meeting her if (when?!) we move to the Netherlands
Organized and Concise!
Michelle was a great help in making sense of the DAFT visa process and how it will fit our move to the Netherlands. She spent the time guiding us through the process, answering our questions, and providing supports to look for housing in the Netherlands. We look forward to meeting her and her two dogs once we settle into our new home.
Michelle was super helpful
I met with Michelle last week to discuss the DAFT visa option – she was personable, efficient with our time, and answered all of my questions. She also brought up points I would not have even thought to have asked about. I feel much more prepared to proceed with my immigration process after meeting with her and I plan to book a follow up meeting in a few weeks. Highly recommend!
